  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate for prognostic significance of VEGF expression and tumor angiogenesis in papillary carcinomas of the thyroid. Materials and Methods: The materials were 79 cases of papillary thyroid carcinomas, and age, sex, tumor size, multiplicity of tumor, capsular invasion, lymph node metastasis, recurrence, TNM stage, DeGroot stage and AMES scale were evaluated. An immunohistochemical stains for CD 34 to estimate microvessel density (MVD), and VEGF were done. MVD was defined as an average count of vessels per ${\times}400$ power field in the most vascularized area. VEGF expression was interpreted as 1+ and 2+ according to staining intensity and percentages of positive cells. Results: Mean score of MVD was $39.7{\pm}16.9.$ MVD were significantly higher in cases with capsular invasion (p=0.0001), lymph node metastasis (p=0.0001), TNM stage III (p=0.0022), DeGroot stage III (p=0.0163) and high risk group by AMES scale (p=0.0001). VEGF 2+ expression rate was significantly increased in cases with capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis (p=0.0006, p=0.0013), and in cases with TNM stage III, DeGroot stage III and high risk group by AMES scale (p=0.0236, p=0.0003, p=0.0293). In VEGF 2 + expression group, MVD was significantly higher than in VEGF 1 + group (p=0.0008), and MVD showed positive relation to VEGF 2 + expression (r=0.4616). Conclusion: VEGF expression and high MVD were significantly correlated to capsular invasion, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage III, DeGroot stage III and high risk group by AMES scale. The expression of VEGF and high MVD could be considered to be one of prognostic factor in papillary thyroid carcinomas.

  • Thymic tumors are the most common tumors in the anterior mediastinum. Total resection is the main treatment and predictor of longer survival. Adjuvant radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy is recommended with incomplete excision or advanced disease. Thirty seven patients with thymic tumors were included in this retrospective study from January 2001 till December 2012. They were studied regarding age, sex, performance status, tumor size and invasion, stage, pathology, treatment given, overall and progression free survival. Myasthenia gravis was present in 18.1% of the patients. Masaoka stage III was diagnosed in 40.5% of the cases followed by stage II in 24.3% and the other stages with lower percentages. Pathology type B3 was the most frequent followed by B2 and B1 with percentages of 27, 24.3 and 21.7 respectively. Complete resection was conducted in 11 cases (29.75%). Partial resection or debulking was done in 15 (40.5%) and a biopsy was taken in 11 cases (29.8%) Adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 14 patients (37.8%) and neoadjuvant to 13 (35.2%). Adjuvant radiotherapy was given to 17 patients (46%) and neoadjuvant to 14 (37.8%). The 5-year overall survival by was 83% for stage I, 71% for stage II, 60% for stage III, and 44% for stage IV (p=0.0426). Five year progression free survival was 71% for stage I, 62% stage II, 42% stage III, and 37% for stage IV (p=0.0532). In conclusion with the rare thymic tumors early stage and complete resection have the highest impact on overall and progression free survival.

  • 본 논문에서는 가스제트 방식의 추력기를 이용해서 KSR-III의 탑재부를 스핀안정화시키는 방식에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 탑재부 상에서 발생가능한 오차 요인들에 대해 정의하고, 그로 인해 자세각 및 각속도가 증가하는 양상에 대해 분석하였다. 추력비정렬오차로 인한 탑재부 상의 자세각 및 각속도 오차 증가를 살펴봄으로써 오차 증가를 최소로 하는 최적의 스핀주파수 및 정상스핀시간에 대한 관계식을 제시하였다. 관계식을 만족하는 모든 해들 중에서 낙하점 오차를 최소로 하는 값을 구하기 위해서는 가능한 모든 오차 조합들에 대한 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션이 필요하게 되지만, 본 논문에서는 오차들에 의한 힘 및 모멘트가 각 축에 대해 극대화되는 경우에 대해서만 시뮬레이션해 봄으로써 적절한 해를 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 부최적해 접근방식을 채택하였다. 이상과 같은 방법을 KSR-III의 탑재부에 적용해 봄으로써 적절한 크기의 스핀 주파수와 정상스핀시간을 결정할 수 있음을 보였다.

  • Serum CA 125 was measured with immunoradiometric assay in fourty-one patients of endometriosis Serum CA 125 levels (Mean ${\pm}$ SEM, U/ml)in patients with endometriosis were 13.8${\pm}$3.3 in stage I , 17.3${\pm}$3.0 in stage II, 23.4${\pm}$4.9 in stage III, and 64.5${\pm}$13.2 in stage IV, which showed increment according to the stage of endometriosis. Serum levels in stage IV only were significantly elvated than those in control (15.3${\pm}$2.2), and those in advanced stage(III and IV ; 47.1${\pm}$9.5)were significantly higher than those in earlier stages (15.9${\pm}$2.2)and control. The assay revealed a sensitivity of 31.7% and the frequency of elevated levels (> 30.3 U/ml)in stage I, II, III and IV was 9. 1%, 18.8%,33.3%, and 87.5% respectively. Sensitivity in advanced stage was higher than that in earlier stage (64.3% vs. 14.8%). There data suggest that serum CA 125 assay might be a useful diagnostic tool in the advanced stage of endometriosis.

  • Background: To examine survival rates and renal function after partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: We studied 4,332 patients who underwent PN or RN for pathological T1a-T2N0M0 renal cell carcinoma from 1988 to 2014. Patients were divided into two subgroups of CKD stage I-II and stage III. Kidney function, and survival outcomes were compared between groups. Results: We included 1,756 patients with CKD I-II and 276 patients with CKD III in the final pair-matched analysis. Kidney function was significantly better preserved in the PN than in the RN group among all patients. However, the beneficial effect of PN on kidney function gradually disappeared over time in CKD III patients. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates after PN and RN differed in patients with CKD I-II disease (99.4% vs. 96.5%, respectively, P = 0.015). The 5-year OS rates after surgery were not affected by mode of nephrectomy in CKD III patients (97.8% vs. 93.5%, P = 0.103). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates did not differ between treatment groups in all CKD stage. Cox hazard analysis showed that the operative method was a significant factor for OS in CKD I-II patients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.320; confidence interval [CI], 0.122-0.840; P = 0.021). However, PN was not beneficial in terms of OS in CKD III patients (HR, 0.395; CI, 0.086-1.172; P = 0.117). Conclusion: PN is associated with a higher OS rate and better kidney function in patients with preoperative CKD stage I and II, but not in those with CKD stage III.

  • 주걱쑥부쟁이(Heteropappus arenarius Kitam.)는 들국화에 속하는 가을 개화성 이년초로 한국의 남동부 해안지대와 제주도에서 자생한다. 본 식물은 대규모 조경지역 특히, 척박한 토양이나 비탈면 언덕에 유용한 지피식물로서 개발 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 주걱쑥부쟁이 종자의 지역계통과 수확시기에 따른 최적 발아온도를 선정하기 위해 최초로 수행하였다. 지역별 온도에 따른 종자발아 반응은 다음과 같다. 최종발아율(FG)은 구룡포산(産)(89.7%)이 4개 지역계통 중에 가장 높았고, 다음으로 구좌산(産)(87.3%), 감포산(産)(87.3%), HKNU-I (71.5%) 순이었다. 지역별 평균 $T_{50}$은 구좌산(産)(3.6 일)과 구룡포산(産) (4.0일)이 타 지역에 비해 짧았다. 온도별 평균 FG와 $T_{50}$$20^{\circ}C$에서 각각 76.2%와 3.6일로 가장 우수하였다. 그 다음으로 $30^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$순이었다. 그러나 구좌산(産)의 경우, FG과 $T_{50}$$20^{\circ}C$$15^{\circ}C$에서 우수하였다. 수확단계 및 온도관계에서 수확단계별 평균 FG는 Stage III (90.7%)와 Stage IV (88.6%)가 Stage II(35.7%)와 Stage I(26.0%)에 비해 월등히 높았다. 수확단계별 평균 $T_{50}$은 Stage IV (3.7일)과 Stage III (4.3일)로 FG값이 50%이하를 보여준 타 수확단계에 비해 짧았다. 그럼에도 불구하고 주걱쑥부쟁이 종자는 모든 단계에서 발아할 수 있었기에 종자 수확 가능범위는 Stage I 에서 IV까지였다. 결론적으로 주걱쑥부쟁이 종자발아의 최적 온도와 적정 수확단계는 $20^{\circ}C$ 조건에 Stage III에서 IV 까지이었다.

  • 목적 : 식도암의 근치적 절제술 후 보조적 요법으로 방사선치료의 역할은 아직 정립되어 있지 않은 상태이다. 저자들은 후향적 분석을 통하여 식도암 환자에서 근치적 절제술 후 수술단독군과 수술 후 방사선치료군 간의 생존률, 재발양상을 비교하여 방사선치료의 역할을 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년 1월에서 1993년 12월까지 식도암으로 진단받고 근치적 절제술을 시행받은 환자 51명을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 병기별로 I기 13예, IIA기 12예, IIB기 4예, 그리고 III기가 22예였다. 이 중 병기 I은 전 예에서 수술만을 시행받았고, 병기 II와 III의 38예 중 12예는 수술단독 그리고 25예는 수술 후 방사선치료를 시행받았다. 수술은 35예에서 경흉적 식도절제술(transthoracic esophagectomy)을 그리고 16예에서 경식도공 위장절제술(transhiatal esophagectomy)을 시행받았다. 방사선치료는 원발병소를 기준으로 종격동, 쇄골상부림프절 그리고 복강림프절을 포함하여 $3,000\~6000\;cGy$ $5\~6$주(중앙값 5400 cGy)조사하였다. 추적기간은 18개월에서 107개월 중앙치 38개월이었다. 결과 : 전체환자의 2년 및 5년 생존율은 $56.4\%,\;36.8\%$였고 중앙생존기간은 45개월이었다. 병기별 2년생존율, 5년생존율 그리고 중앙생존기간은 병기 I $92\%,\;60.3\%$, 병기 II $63\%,\;42\%$, 51개월, 병기 III $34\%,\;23\%$, 19개월이었다. 병기 II와 III 전체에서 수술단독군과 수술 후 방사선치료군간의 5년생존율은 $22.8\%$$37.8\%$ 그리고 중앙생존기간은 45개월과 22개월로 차이가 없었다(p=0.89). 그러나 병기 III에서는 비록 통계적 유의성은 없었지만(p=0.14) 중앙생존기간 11개월, 20개월로 그리고 2년생존율에서 $0\%,\;36.5\%$로 수술 후 방사선치료군에서 보다 향상된 결과를 보여 주었다. 병기 II, III에서 국소재발률, 원격전이율은 수술단독군 $50\%,\;16\%$, 수술 후 방사선치료군 $39\%,\;31\%$로 차이가 없었다. 그러나 N1병기에서 국소재발률은 수술단독군 $71\%$, 수술 후 방사선치료군 $37\%$로 통계적 유의성은 없었으나(p=0.19) 병합치료군에서 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 방사선치료군에서 국소재발된 경우는 전체 26예 중 10예로, 방사선치료 조사면을 기준으로 보았을 때 조사면 내 재발이 2예, 경계부위 재발이 1예, 조사면 외부 국소 재발이 5예, 그리고 문합부 재발이 2예였다. 치료에 따른 부작용은 양 군 간에 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 근치적 절제술 후 병기 II, III 식도암환자에서 수술 후 보조요법으로 방사선치료는 수술단독군과 비교하여 생존율, 재발률에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 병기 III 혹은 N1의 경우는 국소재발을 낮추고 생존율향상의 경향을 보여 향후 좀 더 많은 수의 환자를 대상으로 전향적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 방사선치료시 국소재발률을 낮추기 위해 방사선치료의 범위를 종격동, 쇄골상부림프절, 복강림프절 그리고 문합부위 등을 모두 포함하는 좀더 넓은 조사면의 치료가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • The parasporal biogenesis of crystal inclusion during the sporulation of Bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 was observed using transmission electron microscopy. The crystal biogenesis and sporulation process involved a sequence of events talking about 10 h. The sporulation Precesses were found to be similar to previous findings. The crystal biogenesis of B. sphaericus was initiated at the start of engulfment and nearly completed by the time of exosporium formation. The crystal formation was clearly associated with the outer forespore membrane from stages III through VI, and the crystals grew from polypeptide-like chains originated from the outer forespore membrane. These observations are different from previous findings, which report no association with the forespore membrane. The crystals were located adjacent to the outer membrane of the spore until the release stage. The axes size of the bipyramidal crystal was approximately $0.25{\mu}m{\times}42{\mu}m$. During crystal biogenesis, the crystal development could be classified into four stages; initiation stage Cl (sporulation stage . III), growth stage C2 (sporulation III to V), envelopment and maturation C3 (sporulation V to V), and finally release stage C4 (sporulation Vll).
